Here is a few pics of the little baby Taylor that Serena thinks is hers and some growing pics of Serena. Taylor may be a boy or girl so the name will fit when we know haha. St Runs are great. First thing in the morning I opened the brooder and Serena came flying out to check it out. She later...
Recently my Blue Marans passed and I have had a black silkie in quarantine. I finally put the silkie in with my leghorn (who is 2 weeks) and the silkie and leghorn act like momma and chick. My silkie will force her way under the leghorn and the leghorn will slowly nest over her. It's the cutest...
My 2 week old Blue Marans has what I believe is an impacted crop. On the right side of her between her head and chest is a HUGE hard lump. I just noticed it today when I got home from work at 5pm. It was not there yesterday but may have been earlier today. I have taken her food out for the time...

Not dead, sleeping lol.
If anyone could give me a...
I got a Danish Brown Leghorn last Thursday (my 1st chicken ever) and was told it was a pullet. I have read the few different ways on sexing and am not willing to possibly hurt my chick by venting as inexperienced as I am. The only thing I can do is the "wave a hat over head" method. When I do...
